@hecubian_devil The only way to run “against” the party is to, at least in part, embrace the party. The issue that people like Bernie keep running into is that they try to give a catch-all solution that will cater to everyone but ignore minority groups that want -their specific problems- heard.
@unvarnishedvoid@TheEbonyMaw You can’t milk “I was living on credit for a while because I left an abusive relationship and took my daughter with me and only recently found a decent enough job to pay my bills” but you can for “I bought too many labubus and now I’m $100,000 in debt.”
Minnesota Senate nominee Michele Tayofa on the Iran war: "Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks and so that gas goes a little further. Until this thing is over and these gas prices come back down again, let's just try to be patriots about this."
@nuckles87 would resist it tooth and nail. Even were we to push through a complete revamp and overhaul, people have no plan for patients who need care in the transition period. It’s literally just
@nuckles87 Actually having worked in medicine an overhaul would actually end in a system that costs substantially less, but the problem is the overhaul itself. There’s a lot of administrative and management positions that would be cut and politicians laundering money off the current system
Play a game for 60 hours, make it through with no problems whatsoever. Every boss goes down easily, you never even die once. You have no indication that you're underpowered at all - in fact you feel overpowered.
Then the final boss one shots your entire party in 30 seconds.
AI in its current form can only really extrapolate from information it has access to. Any undiscovered equations, species, diseases, natural phenomenon, etc. has to be done by humans, because AI will see someone with brains leaking out the nose disease and say “you have a cold.”
I'm gonna be real with you dawg, no one is going to bother learning anything once AI is fully here. Imagine dedicating decades of your life to mastering math when AI makes all your work look like child's play. 99.999% of humanity will come to the correct conclusion: not worth it.
@SigmaSyndikate@TheNCSmaster God I would play the shit out of it too.
This reminds me of a story I heard about Tetsuya Nomura watching Les Miserables and decided he wanted to make FFXV into a musical, and had to be talked out of it by the suits.
If you had “normal” conservative beliefs about LGBT people (like they’re misguided or whatever) that’s actually a fairly common belief in Sacramento (which is quite a conservative area for Cali). But you lump them together with Islamists which is a whole other brand of crazy.
I’m very disappointed that SacAnime has disinvited me from a Halo 25 reunion at their conference next month. If you thought we defeated Cancel Culture in 2024, guess again!
@KardialRon I was there when 3 came out. Everyone was dunking on it for being bad. I mean EVERYONE. The historical revisionism of its reception is insane.
@JanekGalganek@livememoria This was the last straw for me too. She gets absolutely embarrassed by Bakool Ja Ja multiple times then suddenly gains Naruto powers to defeat him. It would’ve helped if we -actually mentored her- by training her so that it felt like a normal progression. What a mess.
Spectacular Norman framing -his own son- to elicit compassion from Spider Man and playing the compassionate father to throw Spidey off his trail as Green goblin so he could work from the shadows undeterred was crazy fucking work. The guy was a fucking demon.
